Yes I do. I'm not sure why the mapcount is decreasing. I thought perhaps it
could be due to CoW or explicit munmap, or something like that. I've been trying
to find the reason that the mapcount is being reduced by using the page_ref
tracepoints, but its proving difficult.
The crash logs are somewhat random. But I'll send some to you separately.
Thanks for taking a look!
